For the first time in my life I'm making emotions only by using gradients.
I wanted to make the little icon sad by changing the gradients inwards so it looks kinda withdrawn and introverted, while the bigger icon is self-confident, extroverted, and the gradients make it pop. :D
unfortunately this is not very good icon for appstore, as all icons in iTunes are shown on white. So you/your customer will loose leads because icon will be not prominent there. Hard marketing truth:)
These are really stylish, but I think the right one has the gradients going the wrong way, thus the middle part seems to be deeper than the rest, whereas with the big one, the middle part is the highest.
@Daniel Diekmeier Well that was the point, to make the little icon sad by changing the gradients inwards so it looks kinda withdrawn, introvert, while the bigger icon is self-confident, extrovert, and the gradients make it pop. :D
@Emrah Kara Later I figured that layering a gradient map adjustment on top doesn't go well with gradients and blurriness. Not doing it any more. Thanks btw ;)

@M+O this icon is for fun only, not intended for an app. however, thanks for the sharp remark, it's good to have that in mind in future!

Really nice attention to detail, great work. It may still work for the app store. iTunes adds a drop shadow.

White gradients need dithering i suppose but that's awasome anyway:)
